Artwork > Broken Stone Mosaics

Thread of Life represents the three stages of life. Life generally moves along a steady line with ups and downs but sometimes struggles and underlying despair disrupt the flow. Regardless of the triumphs and struggles, there is always a golden thread of life that is constant - the golden thread of the soul.
The primary tesserae are white, pink and gray Sylacauga marble that I collected near the Sylacauga marble quarry in Alabama. The white Sylacauga marble is equivalent in quality to the Italian Carrerra marble and is ideal for sculpting and for mosaics. The blue kyanite cleaves into long blades, ideal for the central section and the gold tesserae brightly reflect the light.
